Before You Get Started

1.1 Shipment
Your EPA900 was carefully packed at the factory, and the
packaging was designed to protect the unit from rough handling.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you carefully examine the
packaging and its contents for any signs of physical damage that
may have occurred during transit.
If the unit is damaged, please do NOT return it to
◊
BEHRINGER. Instead, notify your dealer and the shipping
company immediately. Otherwise, claims for damage or
replacement may not be honored.
Always use the original packing carton to prevent damage
◊
during storage or transport.
Make sure that no children are left unsupervised with the
◊
unit or its packaging.
Please ensure proper disposal of all packing materials.
◊
1.2 Initial operation
Be sure that there is enough space around the unit for cooling.
To avoid overheating, please do not place the EPA900 near
radiators and other equipment emanating heat.
Blown fuses must be replaced by fuses of the same type and
◊
rating! Please refer to the "TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS"
section for the correct rating. To avoid an electric shock,
turn off and unplug the unit before replacing the fuse. For
more information, please see Chapter 3.8 and Figure 3.9.
The mains connection is made using the enclosed power cord
and a standard IEC receptacle. It meets all of the international
safety certification requirements.
Before connecting the unit to the mains, please check that
◊
it is set to the correct supply voltage.
You have to use another fuse if you set the unit to another
◊
supply voltage. The correct value is specified in Chapter
"TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS".
Please make sure that all units have a proper ground con-
◊
nection. For your own safety, never remove or disable the
ground conductor from the unit or of the AC power cord.
The unit shall always be connected to the mains socket
outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Please ensure that only qualified people install and operate
◊
the mixing console. During installation and operation, the
user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth, other-
wise electrostatic discharges might affect the operation of
the unit.
The sound quality may diminish within the range of pow-
◊
erful broadcasting stations and high-frequency sources.
Increase the distance between the transmitter and the
device and use shielded cables for all connections.
